Good evening. I do hope that you can help me. I am looking for any information available about a wholesale clothing manufacturer that was based at Balm Road Mills in 1913. The company was owned by Moses Mayers, who had relocated from St John's, Newfoundland, to Leeds in 1913. He had run a similar clothing manufacturer in St John's (Newfoundland Clothing Company) and, looking at adverts placed in some of the 1913 editions of the Yorkshire Evening Post, it appears that he advertised, either a M.Mayers or Mayers & Co, for workers for his new enterprise. There are adverts for baisters, lining makers, good stitchers for coats, brushers off and good trimmers. The address given in the adverts is Balm Road Mills. Any information that can be supplied would be hugely appreciated, as Moses Mayers was my great-grandfather. Kind regards Stephanie
